For the second year in a row, Wilderness Volunteers will be out and about at the 2011 Calvary Outdoors Expo this Saturday March 26th in Souderton, PA - just 30 miles north of Philadelphia. Last year's event attracted nearly 10,000 attendees and an even bigger turnout is expected this year. The event runs from 10am-6pm. Special thanks to WV'ers Marge and Rick Volpe for organizing the WV exhibit.

So if you're in the area, stop by and see us.

P.S. And in case you missed the recap of last year's expo, here's one of the highlights: volunteers Joe Maglaty, Ron Eydelloth, and Howard Dupee - who worked last year's event along with Rick and Marge - shared with me their awe-inspiring vision of a little something they call "the trail zamboni." Read about it here.
